Hand Thrown in Devon
Approximate measurements: 9cm ø x 4.5cm H. 60ml
A very beautiful tea bowl with a smaller conical form and delicate nature within the glaze. Beautiful pale blue green tones with a very fine glassy crackle. Touches of light blue crackly pooling inside and around the foot, absolutely stunning when it catches the light. Smooth surface with texture around the lip which will mellow with use. This shape of tea bowl is beautiful to drink from with its pronounced lip.
This series of tea bowls are part of Charlie’s continuing experimentation, research, and development into wood ash glazes and tea bowl shapes, each is unique.
Charlie Collier creates functional hand thrown stoneware pieces that have an effortless simplicity and beauty to them made to enhance occasions and enrich our daily lives. Admiring the philosophy, that pots are ‘born, not made’ Charlie follows an organic approach to the creative process with the clay, paying particular detail to shape and form and instinctively knowing at which point a form is complete. He creates pieces that have a honest connection, energy and real character to them, something that you only feel with a handmade item.
Previously honing his skills and experience at Whichford Pottery and alongside its founder, Jim Keeling and a group of Japanese potters from Bizen, to build and fire with a Anagama woodfiring Kiln at Wytham Woods in Oxford. Charlie is now based at the Kigbeare Kiln Project near Okehampton, Devon.
